What's For Dinner?-September 2012
Re: What's For Dinner?-September 2012
Holy ungodly humidity, Batman!!! I had to stop and stand in front of the fan THREE times between getting out of the shower and actually achieving getting dressed! Dan's picking me up in about 20 minutes...this should be an adventure.

Re: What's For Dinner?-September 2012
Hope that goes well, Felix.
I just tossed a jello mold into the freezer and am hoping for the best. Well, maybe not the best... but at least edible results. Testing out a really old recipe that sounded great to me until I got to the "add mayo" part. This is for a jello fruit salad mold that gets frozen. I almost didn't add the mayo, but I was worried it might not set properly without it. Kind of thinking I should have added sour cream or something like that instead. I'll find out tomorrow when it has frozen and I can give it a taste.
If my dd finds out there is mayo in the fruit salad, she's going to freak out. My tongue might freak out too, come to think of it.
In any case, jump started tomorrow night's dinner by making the dessert ... erm... salad.. erm... mayo ice cream??...in advance.
Something tells me I had better make a lot of extra mashed potatoes ...

Morning Everyone!
AC, down again; hot and sticky, but guy is coming this afternoon. That means I can't go to work but oh well; I guess I will be doing as much as possible from home.
I made a new pizza recipe yesterday which I really enjoyed. Proscuitto and butternut squash with red onions. Really tasty
I will have to post it. The squash was really good.
Catered Brunch - NOT Lunch:
Fun today ... it is a Bagel Works Bar with a greens topped with a baked tomato topped with a poached egg.
The tomatoes are baked and topped w/Feta, bread crumbs and parmesan served over baby mixed greens with a champagne vinaigrette and a poached egg on top of the tomato.
The Bagel bar has 4 different kinds with smoked salmon, cream cheese, capers, red onion, pickled cucumber and a dilled sour cream. They can help themselves.
Fruit salad, juices, coffee, tea, etc.
Ladies #1 and #2:
Spinach, tomato, and zucchini lasagna; marinated roasted artichoke, tomato, and mushroom salad; garlic bread
Me: Depends on the AC guys, if I have air or not and what time they leave.
I could make chicken salad, soup, grill some salmon or pasta; we will have to play it by ear.

Morning,
Continues to be very humid with no breeze.
Washed the linens & towels earlier. Off to run errands this morning. Have leftover pasta which will do for dinner. Lunch will be a bacon & tomato sandwich. Just going to make a fresh loaf of bread now.

That was the mother of all misunderstandings, helped along by a "friend" who seems intent on stirring up trouble. Dan's not seeing anyone, she was a friend of his from college. I won't go into details, but let's just leave it at he and I are where we always were, but with a better understanding of who we should both talk to, or rather NOT talk to, in this case. Took us an hour to sort through it, but we're back to being us. Or maybe even better. 
Dinner tonight is going to be either salmon cakes or tuna cakes, depending on which kind of fish I find in the cupboard first, with a creamy dill sauce. Bag salad and some other vegetable on the side.
It is so humid I feel damp just sitting here. Not supposed to rain until Friday, though.

Felix, glad to hear it is all sorted. Always best to listen first or you can end up looking like an idiot. Next time when he picks you up have "him" move friend to the back seat. For me that says the pecking order, lol.
Re: What's For Dinner?-September 2012
LOL Felix. Not in my house!!!!!!!! I am older then you & I would be in the front seat if "age" is what we are doing. Now if your Mother was there and age is what we were doing she would be in the front seat. Of course we would be driving her crazy from the back. There are rules on where you get to sit & shot gun does not do it. On the other hand if your Mother was in the front seat? I would be opening the door to the car for her in & out. No not the burger place, lol.
